"Turkey: several groups have announced protests in the vicinity of U.S. government diplomatic offices starting Dec. 6," the State Department said via Twitter. "Avoid all protests, especially those near US embassy and U.S. consulates."

The U.S. diplomatic facilities will continue to operate under normal operations unless otherwise specified, the State Department said.
